On my sisters computer the display stays at 16 color/640 by 480 pixels. Whenever you change it, and you have to reboot the computer, it automaticaly goes back to the other settings, 16 color/640 by 480 pixels. It's so bad I can barely read posts in this forum. It's a intel 82810 onboard graphics controller,and KDS VS 77, 17" monitor. She has been having this problem for quite some time now. I have fixed the problem before, but it always starts acting up again. 
Is there anyone who knows what is causing this? She is also having a problem with the computer running really slow. I think that is her PSU. Very small for this system. I think it's only 150w. Can't really remember though. For now I'm gonna uninstall ME, and go back to 98se, and see if that helps anything.

Solved. Took win ME off the machine, and it works like a dream. Well, as good as it can, given what she has for a computer. 
But, anyways, thanks for your help.
